(note:I am not good with grammar and the likes, I pretty much rambled in this so)
if you read this that's very surprising in all honesty anyways here what I think about Nisekoi Doumei. This will contain spoilers though.

Story 9: I personal loved the story for the most part, the only issue i had was with the characters so I'll get to that in that part. The summary really made me want to read this and was not disappointed. The first couple pages really went in deep. Felt like the climax was on the first page for me. I like stories like these were cheating ... like this takes place. I liked it because I thought Kaname and Ouka were cheating on them. Until I find out that's not the case. That's were shit got weird for me. I only like cheating stories when it mutual with everyone. I hate cheating when one of the characters really loves the person. So when Ouka started crying and told Mayuri the truth, I felt conflicted. I really started liking Ouka and was upset for her reason to fake the kiss but the fact she really loves Youji is what made my heart sink when we find out he dumps her and I felt sorry for her and my heart is still sad about that even though that was like in the middle of the manga. After that Youji and Mayuri get together after a lot of conflict and then ending. I loved the last chapter and last couple of pages and re-read them a few times. (I skipped the talking about the last half of the manga because I didn't care for it as much but the conflict is still really entertaining so read it if you have't already.)

Art 10:It good can't say more honestly.

Characters 9: Here we go.... uhh. I liked all the character expect for one I feel like that mutual for all readers (if you read you should know who I'm talking about)but I had some issues. My problems weren't with the characters themselves because I liked them all but the way the author showed them. Let me explain. For Ouka I loved her and my heart still stings knowing she lost Youji but I hate how the author doesn't show anymore then here. After the author shows her crying that Youji broke up with here that's it. Never shown again were shown Kaname but not Ouka and that upsets me because I felt bad for her in all honesty, and that's about it really I thought there was more but no I just really hate what happened to Ouka I loves Mayuri and glad she with Youji now but I wish the anther kept Ouka and Kaname as cheaters. It would of been better for me because after we here Ouka tell her story like I said my hearts sank and I felt conflicted having to choose between Mayuri and Ouka though the author never gave me a chance to decide.

Enjoyment 10: I read the entire manga in 4 hours in one sitting so ya I loved it never was a dull moment for me so read it if you have't already.

I really don’t have to give a summary of what this manga/web manga is about; there are already multiple reviews stating it from various points of views.

Before starting, know that there are only 34 chapters published, HOWEVER online you are able to read all 112 chapters.



Now, to my review.
(I’ll try not to spoil anything if anyone wants to read this)
TD;RL: The beginning of the manga is frustrating, but the author manages towards the end to redeem the characters and end on a high note. Despite my low score xD.

... Overall the plot...
Is very....frustrating because of the usual plot device authors use to keep readers in suspense. That is no communication. It’s present throughout 2/3 of the manga if I’m not incorrect. Resulting in the characters to react terribly and make matters worse. However, the one redeeming quality in this is that the reactions of the characters realistically portray one-side of human nature. Regardless it is off-putting and I myself found it disappointing that this was the major plot device that the story revolves around.

So if that extremely pisses you off, I recommend you steer away from this manga.

Remember that this work is based primarily on romance, so you will definitely get your fill of love PG love scenes. And to some they could be rather mushy, but I’m a sucker for romance so I have to admit, they did make me smile a little.


Moving on from that, the characters were very...
Wishy washy. As in they go back and forth, forever indecisive until a certain point. And it may portray some teenagers to a T, but this is a fair warning before going in. Yet again though, the author manages to get these characters to get their acts together, realize their mistakes, and (we can only hope) better themselves after you’ve read at least half the manga. At least one can say the author is consistent in how the characters react to situations. Oh, a highlight character for me would be Hasumi. He’s the comedic relief, and yes he does have his wishy-washy moment as well. But he seems more like this funny, rascally gentleman.


Now the art.
I rated that rather highly compared to everything else. I enjoyed how clean and smooth all of it was. The backgrounds I would say are about the same as well, but I didn’t pay too much attention to them ^^’. But what really captured my attention was their eyes, and facial expressions.


Other than that...oh the ending!
It was rushed. So if you give this manga a chance and feel that as well, don’t worry you’re not alone. Even so, the author does deliver a proper ending, not leaving the readers with questions (besides how are the characters in the future?). So that’s a plus in my books after too many great stories having terrible endings.


And as blunt as that was, that’s my review. I hope it helps anyone with their decision to read or not to read. If you do give it a chance, hopefully you enjoy it. The chapters are rather short so you’d be able to finish within a day if you choose to. If you passed then, thank you for reading this review and I hope you enjoy the next work you end up reading.

SPOILERS

It's been a while since I've read this, so I can't remember much but I do think I remember the overall feeling I got from it. The premise is pretty stupid in all honesty, and they don't even really commit to it. People say the hated the girl but the guy was ok, I think I disliked the girl but despised the guy at times. He's way too pushy and oversteps boundaries much too often, the girl gets cold feet really soon(doesn't really commit to the premise they basically genuinely just spend time and fall in love instead of pretend any certain way, the cheating ... doesn't even really make sense just break up with them or pretend you're cheating IN FRONT OF THEM what's the point of doing something they won't even know about for revenge? Just to be assholes?) which is kinda annoying cuz commit but the guy gets way too forward even with resistance from her and he kinda acts pompous from what I recall. There was also the typical scene pretty far in which was the most off-putting to me where he basically sexually assaults her(kabedon and forceful kiss) which was supposed to be romantic. This is all I can remember so... At least it's not as bad as wolf-girl and black prince? I remember there were a few cute moments so that brings it up to a 4. The characters they were cheating on were pretty alright as well, I honestly would rather just see a story about them.
